November 13, 2014 - On Wednesday U2 singer
"Bono" was traveling from
Dublin to Berlin,
Germany in his private jet,
Learjet 60 (DCGEO).

At
about 15,000 feet the rear luggage compartment
cargo door become detached from the aircraft and
fell to the ground somewhere over Germany.

The two pilots landed the aircraft safely, Bono,
(Paul David Hewson) and four friends onboard
were uninjured.

The pilots were unaware during flight that the
cargo door had separated from the aircraft, it
wasn't until they landed the aircraft and
realized that the door came off and that two
suitcases had fallen from the luggage
compartment.

The pilots told investigators there was no
structural indication to the aircraft of a cargo
door separation from the cockpit other than big
thud coming from the rear of the plane which had
occurred about an hour into the flight and a
light buffeting to the aircraft while making a
right-hand turn onto the approach.

The luggage compartment was not apart of the
cabin pressurized system so there was no loss of
cabin pressure when the cargo door separated
from the aircraft. Because this aircraft
(D-CGEO) is owned and traveled by a high profile
person the European government allows the owner
to block public tracking.

A spokesman for the German Federal Bureau of
Aircraft Accident Investigation, Germout Freitag
said “The aircraft and its rear door are painted
black, so the search in the wooded area will be
difficult.”

Bono had meet with U2 in Berlin to receive a Bambi International Music
award. U2 band members Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton
were not onboard. It was reported that they had traveled
separately as Bono had flown earlier to attend a
diplomatic event with Gerd Mueller, the German minister
of economic cooperation and development. Bono was
born and raised in Dublin, he is an
Irish singer songwriter, his music tends to be a
refection social and
political unrests. He is well known for his activism
concerning Africa
and his benefit concerts. The majority of the music
played by U2 is written by Bono.
